SOLO FOUNDER; OVERWHELMED, BUT ON THE BRINK OF SUCCESS AFTER THREE YEARS You are coming in to the organization at a fantastic time. There is a lot of buzz in the events industry about our new AI Agent, GotchaFinder.ai. GotchaFinder, operati

Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I agree that being a senior startup founder is extremely efficient. It's also more fun. You just don't care what other people think anymore. Thanks for your reply. Agreed that all the women probab

I am a professional photographer who began taking photos in the days of film. For point of reference, it was 2007 when I switched from shooting film to shooting digital. When shooting film, I would carefully meter the scene, make sure the p

I have such mixed feelings about cancer research. I don't often share this, because gifting cancer non-profits with lots of money is considered heroism of the first order in our society. When I read of these large gifts, I can't h

Try artists' studios. There are buildings that rent reasonably priced spaces meant for making art, but they are private yet in a building with funky, creative people, so that environment might suit you. Good luck. I have often thought

It strikes me that you're very clear on the problems with each person. That's a good place to start. You're not confused as to the problems. I would have coffee with each of them, and give each person concrete examples of whe

This is not an either-or question. Start-ups are a "fast and furious" game, so you can go in and out of them. Successful start-ups only last for 5-10 years before exit, and unsuccessful ones last for even less time. I'm in la

Thank you for your honest question. The short answer is yes. The more complicated answer is I know I'm doing small things to ameliorate inequalities in my corner of the world, so I feel I'm doing something in a world where injusti

I concur with others that this is the "new normal." My husband is a cybersecurity professional. He says that in the past few years, hacking for personal information has gotten to be such a "normalized" business that hac

I don't like the title. The author didn't waste the money. He learned a lesson that cost $40k to learn. (Less than many failed start-ups.) He doesn't say what he learned and would do differently next time. It seems to me this

This is why I use mega.co.nz for all the sensitive files of my business. Google and Dropbox get the files that I wouldn't mind if they were on a bulletin board. But this is not a common practice, and the risks aren't well-known by

I agree with you, but, unfortunately, research shows that only 5% of customers care that their privacy is being sold off. The rest don't care. Accuweather, for instance, (which is so lousy with ads that it compromises the experience of

I agree. I'm still "pre-money" in my start-up, so not making money at the moment, but I always have an agenda of things I want to accomplish to move the ball forward. Under these conditions, if anything else gets done outside

I wouldn't dismiss the domain brokers ideas but wouldn't be too caught up with them, either, unless you have tried it yourself first. There are domain auction sites. You might start there with a handful and see how it goes. I get

This sounds trivial but it's such good advice. When you're young you don't want to be seen wearing hearing protection. I was a pop music critic when I was younger, and only wore ear protection a little more than half the time

This is a great answer. Having a blueprint and knowing your challenges are not unique is very good for mental health.

Great advice - all of it. I like that you included how you dress matters, along with being nice and having empathy! :) I've learned this, too. Unless you're a billionaire who can get away with a hoodie and socks/sandals as a
